Rotate Screen on Touch Pro

I think I am going mad so forgive me.
Can someone help me to rotate the screen to landscape with the keyboard closed? IE. manually rotate the screen.
I can't seem to find the function anywhere.
or have I missed something?
Thanks.

Just rotate the device?!

This only works in certain apps, like picture etc.
I want the Home screen, and TT7 in Landscape when in the car, and turning the screen doesn't do anything.
Any help?

The Apps themselves need to support the Rotation of the phone by implementing a hook into the Accelerometer/G-Sensor.
Like said above, TouchFlo3D Pictures and Opera do this, but most other apps do not! Just need to wait for later versions or change to landscape mode manually - if supported!

Should be (although HTC may have removed it) in Start->Settings->System (tab)->Screen, and then change the orientation. It's possible HTC removed this functionality though...

I'm guessing that Mortscript will still work on the Touch.
You could use this to rotate the screen then call the app in question?
Then when you quit the app it'll rotate back.

I forgot the name of the app, but it allowed you to rotate the Diamond for any app or any situation in the phone. It should also be able to work on the Touch Pro then.

Its called GSen it works on diamond and probably it should work for this and if its not working just wait for new release.

They have removed this option, but you can bring it back with Schap's advanced config 3.0! I haven't tried it, but I've seen the option there!

Reg Edit to set Talk key to rotate screen manually
Here's a reg hack to manually rotate your screen, only when desired.
In Settings/Buttons/ one used to be able to assign a button to <Rotate Screen>. This feature is hidden on the Touch Pro.
To get it back:
Using a Registry editor, go to:
HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you can remap the talk key to do this on long press.

Pocketpowermanager puts a little icon at the bottom of the Today screen which rotates the screen (and an icon for power off, and another for soft reset). It's a great application.

Hi there
Both Gens and Gyrator work well on the Touch Pro.
Just Bing them (at bing.com).

You can get an application called gyrator 2 which will allow you to rotate without sliding out the keyboard in any screen, so like you can use it in the start menu or anywhere else, http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6068

Screen Rotation with opening key pad??

Hi guys,
My problem. I'm not using the TF3D but installed SPB instead. However the question is that the screen only turns landscape when i open the key pad. Only app that it auto rotate is Opera.
It is very annoying that if i am reading news for example from a rss reader or something i have to open the key pad in order to read in landscape mode??
Is ther a fax or software which can solve my problem?
thanks everyone.

there are lots of apps that allow you to rotate a screen manually. apart from the auto rotate apps in the diamond forum, spb today plugins usually come with an item (through add item when adding an item to tab) that lets you change the screen oriention via a shortcut.
using something like aeplus can allow you to map a hardware button to screen rotation

Thanks friend

I want to DISABLE autorotate while slideout the keyboard (and map it to the button). Is that possible?

i'm pretty sure u can disable but I'm not sure where in the registery to change.... however, forcing rotation as I asked before I cannot do this way and I think I have to install something... but I'm not sure

Using Gyrator???

I want to use Gyrator to automatically rotate TomTom into landscape mode irrelevant of the phones orientation.
the reason is I use the phone on my motorbike and it sits flat. Also with the cornering it ends up rotating all the time.
How do I do that?
Currently I have a new event called TomTom and the flag is set to 0. No orientation and no Stylus.
MunichWinClass
No Orientation
No Stylus
Actions. Rotate Screen
How do I get it to trigger just on seeing the app and to only lock it into the Landscape position?

Sort of solution
I have adjusted it so it actions on orientation and it only rotates in Landscape. Once rotated it won't rotate back out.
eg
TomTom : 1
MunichWinClass
Landscape
No Stylus settings selected
Actions. Rotate Screen
Would be nice to have it trigger on application startup detect??

New idea: who can make this an app?

Would be awesome if we can really have full control on screen orientation. The default system rotation (even on Android 10) is still super annoying.
Here goes my idea:
Let's just put it that way, the system auto rotation should always turned on for the app to work.
By default, your (new) app has to always display a floating button with unlocked status (i.e. allow system auto rotation to work as usual, don't interrupt). Only when user wanted to lock the current orientation, be it portrait or landscape, then user can click on the floating button once, which will then turned into a locked icon, and the current orientation is locked.
For example, user would like to always browse Chrome in portrait mode, he can click on the floating button to lock it to portrait and won't be bothered of system rotates the phone when he/she lie on the bed or sofa. Then he opens youtube and go through a list of recommended/popular videos in portrait mode (locked earlier), and selected a video to watch, now he/she wants to watch it in landscape, so what he should do is just click again on the floating button, and then it unlocks portrait and now he can use the auto rotate to put the video in landscape mode, and click once again on the floating button to lock the current orientation in landscape! That's it, perfect solution for the annoying system rotation.
Imagine how simple and easy is this and I can't figure out why Google or Apple does not incorporate this in their OS, or perhaps their next version of Android/iOS? lol
Optional (Nice to have features)
You can make the app to always show locked floating button (to let user know current orientation is locked), and only hide the unlocked button after 5 seconds of inactivity/idle. To unhide or call it, user just has to slide from edges to make the floating button visible again and he/she can now click once to lock desired orientation.

Question how to keep s22 ultra in landscape mode/orientation permanently ?

S22 Ultra has huge screen and I would like to use it in landscape orientation always, is there a way to set it permanently ?
I have already tried 'Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.'
and didn't work for me, here is the video https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...orientation-permanently.4411873/post-86533919

one approach: use bixby routines and set to rotate to landscape for all apps on open

I dont see trigger for screen unlock

Is this not an option in the pull-down toggles anymore? I'm still waiting for my S22U to come in, but on my S8 you can pull down and get a "Auto-Rotate" toggle. You'd enable that, rotate the screen the way you want it, and then tap it again -- the text would then change to "Portrait" or "Landscape" and the rotation would be locked in.

Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.

@itsXpanD and @AndroidNO0B i have tried this, once i lock the screen in landscape and go back. it returns to portrait.

Search your settings for landscape and the rotate to landscape option near the bottom.

Your browser is not able to display this video.
(had to record with other mobile as as screen recording gets stopped when locked.)

managed to make it happen
this is what I was missing.

Huh, that's interesting. Seems to be a more recent addition, there was no long-press menu on OneUI 1.0 yet. Glad it's working now!
